A translation is going to have to be modernised by definition, when we're talking about Shakespeare. Obviously we do not have the possibility to use words in their antiquated meanings, which is part of what makes Shakespeare tricky for native English speakers. I suspect that many works are more accessible in translation than in the original.

Zamenhof's original idea was that, if everyone knew Esperanto, works in a national language would only need the one translation for everyone to access them.
Also bear in mind how much organisations like the EU spend on translation, this 'one translation' idea makes a lot of sense.

By translating different works into Esperanto the expression and vocab of the language are built up. Instead of bellyaching and dreaming about changing parts of grammar, people should be translating stuff. It would make a lot more sense.
